3 DODPOPHM/USA/DOD/NAD TR92036 INTRODUCTION This Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) test was performed to ascertain whether the CNU-436/E Shipping and Storage Container (P/N # ) meets the Packing Group TI requirements specified by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts 107 through 178, dated 31 December The packaged commodity used for the test was two Tactical Air Launched Decoy (TALD) shapes weighing 363 kg (800 pounds). This represents the current maximum commodity weight. To compensate for future growth variations in commodity and/or packaging, 37 kg (80 pounds) were added. Gross weight of the loaded container was 715 kg (1,576 pounds). Due to unavailability only one container was used for testing. This is less than the number required by the regulations. Approval 'for this deviation has been granted by the Under Secretary of Defense, Memorandum for the Joint Logistics Commanders dated 22 February TESTS PERFORMED This test was performed in accordance with Title 49 CFR, Part 178, Subpart M, Sec The container was placed on a repetitive shock platform which has a vertical linear motion of 1-inch double amplitude. Movement of the container was restricted during vibration in all but the vertical direction. The frequency of the platform was increased until the container left the platform 1/16 of an inch at some instant during each cycle. Test time was 1 hour. This test was performed in accordance with Title 49 CFR, Part 178, Subpart M, Sec The container was subjected to a force applied to its top surface equivalent to the total weight of identical packages stacked to a minimum height of 3 meters (including the test container). A weight of 2,860 kg (6,304 pounds) was stacked on the test container. The test was performed for 24 hours. Tile weight was then removed and the container examined. This test was performed in accordance with Title 49 CFR, Part 178, Subpart M, Sec Five drops were performed from a height of 1.2 meters (4 feet), impacting the following surfaces: a. Flat bottom. b. Flat top.

4 DODPOPHM/USA/DOD/NADTR92036 PASS/FAIL c. Flat on long side. d. Flat on short side. e. One corner. The criteria for passing the base level vibration test is outlined in Title 49 CFR, Sec (c): No test sample should show any deterioration which could adversely affect transportation safety or any distortion liable to reduce packaging strength. The criteria for passing the stacking test is outlined in Title 49 CFR, Sec (d): No test sample may show any deterioration which could adversely affect transportation safety or any distortion likely to reduce its strength, cause instability in stacks of packages, or cause damage to inner packagings likely to reduce safety in transportation. The criteria for passing the drop test is outlined in Title 49 CFR, Sec (f): A package is considered to successfully pass the drop tests if for each sample tested, no rupture occurs which would permit spillage of loose explosive substances or articles from the outer packaging. TEST RESULTS Satisfactory. Satisfactory. Satisfactory. 2

5 DODPOPHM/USA/DOD/NAD TR92036 DISCUSSION The input vibration frequency was 3.7 Hz. Immediately after the vibration test was completed, the container was removed from the platform, turned on its side and inspected. No unfavorable distortion or deterioration was observed. The container was inspected after the 24-hour period was over. No unfavorable distortion or deterioration was observed. After each drop, the container was inspected. The two TALD shapes were completely retained by the container. REFERENCE MATERIAL A. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Parts B.
